UltraFine 5K Display specs
The primary draw of the display is obviously its 5K resolution, which offers 218 pixels per inch (PPI), with P3 wide color gamut and color accuracy that should satisfy any professional. All of those pixels are paired with 500-nit brightness, offering a brighter, more vivid environment for media work, particularly high-dynamic range content. The UltraFine 5K Display also has enough screen real estate to let you work on full resolution 4K video and images in your favorite editing suite, with screen space leftover for palettes and toolbars. With a single USB-C or Thunderbolt cable handling video, audio and data transfer, you can also get a full media experience. The 27-inch 5K UltraFine features built-in webcam, microphone, and stereo speakers. With a power output of 94 watts, you can charge your MacBook or iPad while you use it, our daisy chain two monitors together for a dual-monitor setup. The screen gets a fully adjustable stand – one that’s included, not sold separately – that lets you set both the angle and height. Last but not least, since the monitor is made especially for use with macOS Mojave 10.14.6 and iOS 12.4, you’ll be able to adjust the display’s settings right from your device, including the MacBook Pro Touch Bar.
